Yet Another Win for DEPERSON
DEPERSON is quickly turning heads with its striking art style and unsettling take on psychological horror. The hand-drawn adventure has been named a finalist for Best Visuals at the Gamescom Awards 2026, while it has also picked up a nomination for Excellence in Art at the Busan Indie Connect Festival 2026.
The game puts players in the shoes of Aaron, a young man who wakes up in Indrija with absolutely no memory of his past. Things are already grim in this dystopian nation, where surveillance and fear keep its citizens in line. As Aaron begins searching for answers, however, reality itself starts to unravel around him.
Players will have to carefully examine their surroundings, make use of each character’s unique abilities, and manipulate the environment to solve puzzles and survive the dangers lurking ahead. But DEPERSON isn’t just about figuring out puzzles. The decisions players make can leave a lasting impact on Aaron and those around him, potentially turning him into someone stronger, more ruthless, or increasingly broken.
The game’s eerie hand-drawn visuals play a major role in creating its disturbing atmosphere, making every discovery feel unpredictable. With recognition from both Gamescom and the Busan Indie Connect Festival, DEPERSON is already making a strong impression.
If you’re a fan of psychological horror that isn’t afraid to mess with your perception of reality, DEPERSON is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
